Sports terminology in standard Arabic language

Ova doktorska disertacija bavi se sportskom terminologijom u standardnom arapskom jeziku. Istraživanje obuhvata deskriptivnu, kvantitativnu i kvalitativnu analizu reprezentativnog korpusa arapskih sportskih termina koji su ekscerpirani iz relevantnih stručnih izvora. Deskriptivna analiza zasniva se na opisu i analizi formalnih odlika zabeleženih sportskih termina, bilo da su nastali formalnim mehanizmima ili međujezičkim pozajmljivanjem. Pri tome je analizirana i uloga koju u tome igraju funkcionalne i semantičke metode. Poseban akcenat stavljen je na adaptaciju pozajmljenica, status neologizama i prisustvo dubleta u arapskoj sportskoj terminologiji. Deskriptivna analiza dopunjena je kvantitativnim prikazom zastupljenosti različitih metoda za građenje sportske terminologije u standardnom arapskom jeziku. Što se kvalitativne analize tiče, bazira se na razmatranju konkretne upotrebe arapske sportske terminologije u pismenim realizacijama naučnog funkcionalnog stila i publicističkog funkcionalnog stila. Takvom analizom ustanovljene su najznačajnije odlike arapske sportske terminologije u pragmatičkom i sociolingvističkom smislu, kao i glavne leksičke odlike arapskog kao specijalnog jezika sporta. Deskriptivno-kvantitativna analiza proučavanog korpusa arapske sportske terminologije pokazala je da u stvaranju termina najviše učestvuju kompozicija, derivacija i međujezičko pozajmljivanje, uz blisko preplitanje sa funkcionalnim i semantičkim metodama. Kvalitativna analiza upotrebe arapske sportske terminologije u naučnom i publicističkom funkcionalnom stilu ukazuje na postojanje leksičko-stilskog „raslojavanja“. To je posledica sociolingvističkog fenomena leksičke/terminološke banalizacije i manifestuje se kao pojava sloja formalne terminologije, sloja granične terminologije i sloja neformalne terminologije sa dijalektizmima. U okviru istraživanja razmotreni su razvoj i značaj sporta u ljudskom društvu uopšte i kod Arapa, pri čemu je načinjen osvrt na lingvistička proučavanja jezika sporta u arapskom i drugim jezicima. Uz to, predstavljena su opšta teorijska načela proučavanja terminologije, kao što je opisan nastanak i razvoj terminologije kao lingvističke discipline u svetu i kod Arapa. Posebna pažnja posvećena je pregledu najvažnijih arapskih terminoloških aktivnosti i prikazu razvoja leksikografije kod Arapa.This doctoral dissertation examines sports terminology in standard Arabic language. The research encompasses descriptive, quantitative and qualitative analysis of a representative corpus of Arabic sports terms that were extracted from relevant scientific and specialized language sources. The descriptive analysis of the recorded sports terms is based on the description and analysis of formal characteristics of the evidenced terms, whether they were created by formal mechanisms or lexical borrowing. The role of functional and sematic methods in the creation of Arabic sports terminology was analyzed as well. Special attention was given to the adaptation of the loanwords, the status of neologisms and the presence of doublets in the Arabic sports terminology. The descriptive analysis is accompanied with quantitative representation of different methods for the creation of sports terminology in standard Arabic language. As for the qualitative analysis, it’s based on examination of concrete use of Arabic sports terminology in written realizations of scientific functional style and publicist functional style. Such analysis has determined the most important characteristics of Arabic sports terminology in pragmatic and sociolinguistic sense, as well as main lexical characteristics of Arabic as special language of sport. Descriptive-quantitative analysis of the examined corpus of Arabic sports terminology has shown that compounding, derivation, and lexical borrowing play major role in the creation of Arabic sports terminology, and that they are closely intertwined with functional and semantic methods. Qualitative analysis of the use of Arabic sports terminology in scientific and publicist functional styles indicates the existence of lexical-stylistic “layers”. That is the consequence of sociolinguistic phenomenon of lexical/terminological banalisation and it manifests itself as formal terminology stratum, borderline terminology stratum, and stratum of informal terminology and colloquialisms. This research also includes investigation of the significance that sports had in the Arab societies and in human society in general, and of linguistic studies of the language of sport in Arabic and other languages. It also presented general theoretical principles within terminological research, as well as the description and development of terminology as linguistic discipline in general and in the Arab world. Special attention was given to the account of the most important terminological activities and the development of the lexicography in the Arab world

Analysis of requirements and the necessary investments in the railway station adjustment program for persons with special needs

People with special needs from the standpoint of social communities have specific requirements for access, mobility, entry and exit of railway vehicles designated to transport passengers. The EU has defined standards and requirements related to persons with special needs. The aim of this paper is to analyze the technical requirements of equipment and identify the necessary investment funds related to the increasing mobility of persons with special needs in the rail transportation system. This analysis would be one of the initial steps approaching the conditions and requirements that apply in the EU in adapting the system of transport for people with special needs

Uticaj bakterijskog inokulanta na hemijski sastav i fermentaciju silaže lucerke

Alfalfa silage is a useful source of protein for feeding ruminants. Therefore, managing alfalfa silage in livestock production systems is an important issue in order to maintain the silage quality and achieve maximum profitable production of milk and meat. The aim of this investigation was to estimate the effects of bacterial inoculant Silko, containing Lactobacillus plantarum (strains: LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4) on chemical composition, energetic characteristics and fermentation alfalfa silage under field conditions in the commercial dairy farm, during the 2016. The first-cut alfalfa in the second year has been conserved in silage form. The silage mass was subdivided into two equal parts (control (silage without inoculant) and silages treated with bacterial inoculant Silko) and ensiled in trench silo. After 60 days of ensiling, the silages were analyzed. Dry matter, ash, crude protein, lactic acid, acetic acid, total digestible nutrients value and relative feed value were significantly higher in silage treated with bacterial inoculant Silko compared to control. Contrary, alfalfa silage treated with a bacterial inoculant Silko had lower values of cellulose, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, nonnitro extractive matter, pH, butyric acid, soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen and NH3- N/total nitrogen than untreated silage. Results showed that bacterial inoculant Silko increases silage quality compared to control so that research should be directed toward the use of such prepared silage in ruminant diets and its impact on milk and meat production on farms.Silaža lucerke je koristan izvor proteina za ishranu preživara. Stoga, proizvodnja silaže lucerke u stočarstvu predstavlja važno pitanje kako bi se održao kvalitet silaže i postigla maksimalna profitabilna proizvodnja mleka i mesa. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da se proceni efekat bakterijskog inokulanta Silka koji sadrži Lactobacillus plantarum (sojevi: LP1 LP2, LP3 i LP4) na hemijski sastav i fermentaciju silaže lucerke u terenskim uslovima na komercijalnoj farmi goveda u 2016. godini. Prvi otkos lucerke u drugoj godini je konzerviran u obliku silaže. Silažna masa je podeljena na dva jednaka dela (kontrola (silaža bez inokulanta) i silaža tretiranih bakterijskim inokulantom Silko) i silirana u rovu silosu. Silaža je analizirana 60 dana nakon siliranja. Sadržaj suve materije, pepela, sirovih proteina, mlečne i sirćetne kiseline, ukupna svarljiva hranljiva materija i relativna hranljiva vrednost značajno su veći u silaži tretiranoj bakterijskim inokulantom Silko nego u kontroli. Suprotno, silaža lucerke tretirana sa bakterijskom inokulantom Silko imala je niže vrednosti za celulozu, ADF, NDF, bezazotne ekstraktivne materije, pH, buternu kiselinu i udeo rastvorljivog i amonijačnog azota u ukupnom azotu nego kontrola. Rezultati su pokazali da bakterijski inokulant Silko povećava kvalitet silaže u odnosu na kontrolu, tako da bi dalja istraživanja trebalo da budu usmerena ka korišćenju ovako pripremljene silaže u ishrani preživara i njen uticaj na proizvodnju mleka i mesa na farmama

ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT FOR A PATIENT WITH ACUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA

Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare metabolic disorder resulting from a partial deficiency of porphobilinogen deaminase, enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Its inheritance is autosomal dominant. A deficiency of porphobilinogen deaminase is not sufficient by its self to produce acute intermittent porphyria, and other activating factors must also be present. These include some drugs, hormones, infection, injury and alcohol. Besides others, anesthetics have been implicated in the triggering of a number of severe porphyric reactions. Although there is no clinical evidence, the fear of hypothesized porphyrinogenicity of repetitive anesthetics exposures still remains. Despite these doubts, we report here the case of uneventful repeated exposure to anesthetics in a patient suffering from acute intermittent porphyria, within a fifteen- month period. On both occasions, the patient was safely exposed to certain anesthetics included: propofol, sevoflurane, rocuronium, midazolam and fentanyl

Modelling the use of 3D video on the quality of experience

Последњих година, очигледан је брз развој различитих медија у различитим сферама као што су потрошачка електроника, аутомобилска инфо-забава (енгл. Infotainment), софтверa у сврху здравства итд. Због тога намеће се потреба за иновативним методама процене квалитета доживљаја (енгл. Quality of Experience - QoE) које корисници доживљавају као замену за задовољство потрошача таквих системима и услугама. Емоционално стање корисника игра кључну улогу у области QoE; стога га је неопходно узети у обзир приликом процене корисничког искуства и процеса дизајнирања 3Д видео садржаја. У овој докторској дисертацији представљено је моделовање проценитеља квалитета доживљава заснованог на повратној вишеслојној вештачкој неуронској мрежи као одговарајућој техници машинског учења за процену човековог емоционалног стања током гледања различитих типова 3Д видео садржаја. Циљ је дизајнирање проценитеља емоционалног стања на основу директних психо-физиолошких мерења. Разматрани психо- физиолошки сигнали укључују срчану фреквенцију (HR) израчунату на основу ехо-кардиограма (ECG), електро-дермалну активност (EDA) и активност мозга (BA) у електро-енцефалографским (EEG) сигналима. Експериментални део истраживања постављен је тако да су учесници гледали серију 3Д видео садржаја који се разликују у погледу визуелног квалитета и типа садржаја, док су поменути психо-физиолошки сигнали забележени помоћу специјалних сонди постављених у моменту гледања садржаја, а субјективно проживљене емоције пријављене помоћу упитника за самопроцену (SAM). Добијени резултати показују да је могуће конструисати тако високо прецизан процењивач емоционалних стања.Poslednjih godina, očigledan je brz razvoj različitih medija u različitim sferama kao što su potrošačka elektronika, automobilska info-zabava (engl.

Eksperimentalni deo istraživanja postavljen je tako da su učesnici gledali seriju 3D video sadržaja koji se razlikuju u pogledu vizuelnog kvaliteta i tipa sadržaja, dok su pomenuti psiho-fiziološki signali zabeleženi pomoću specijalnih sondi postavljenih u momentu gledanja sadržaja, a subjektivno proživljene emocije prijavljene pomoću upitnika za samoprocenu (SAM). Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da je moguće konstruisati tako visoko precizan procenjivač emocionalnih stanja.In recent years, the rapid development of diverse media has been evident in disparate fields such as consumer electronics, automotive infotainment and healthcare software. There is a need for innovative methods to assess user perceived Quality of Experience (QoE), as a proxy for consumer satisfaction with such systems and services. Users emotional state plays a key role in QoE; thus, it is necessary to consider it in user experience evaluation and the design process of stereoscopic 3D video content. In the PhD thesis the use of a specially designed model based on a feedforward Multilayer Perception Artificial Neural Network as an appropriate Machine Learning technique for the estimation of human emotional state while viewing various categories of stereoscopic 3D video content is introduced. The goal is to design an emotional state estimator based on direct psychophysiological measurements. The considered psychophysiological signals include heart rate (HR) calculated from an echocardiogram (ECG), electro-dermal activity (EDA), and brain activity (BA) in EEG signals. In the experimental part of study, participants watched a series of 3D video contents varying in terms of visual quality and type of content, while the mentioned psychophysiological signals were recorded via specific equipment, and self-reported subjectively experienced emotions using a Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) questionnaire. The obtained results show that it is possible to construct such a highly precise estimator of emotional state

Uloga molekulskih osobina mononitrofluorantena u njihovoj mutagenoj aktivnosti :AB initio i DFT pristup

The molecular properties of the environmental mutagens nitrofluoranthenes (NFs; 1-, 2-, 3-, 7- and 8-NF), such as (hyper)polarizability, dipole moment, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), spectroscopic characteristics, magnetic index (NICS) and others, obtained by means of ab initio (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) approaches have been correlated with the observed mutagenic activities. A very good linear correlation (Rav = 0.99) between average polarizability () and experimental mutagenic activities of NFs in different Salmonella typhimurium strains from two independent experimental studies (Vance and Levin, Environ. Mutagen. 6 (1984) 797 and Zielinska et al., Mutation Res. 206 (1988) 131) was established. Higher values of polarizability derivatives with respect to the νsNO+CN vibrational coordinate for 8-NF and 3-NF compared to 1-NF and 7-NF and, consequently, higher Raman activities in the spectra that are in correlation with mutagenic activities, implicate significant intermolecular interactions along this vibrational coordinate. The results indicate that the binding of NFs to enzymes is the main step in mutagenic pathway of these nitro derivatives.Молекулске особине мутагена нитрофлуорантена (NF; 1-, 2-, 3-, 7- и 8-NF) као што су (хипер)поларизабилност, диполни момент, молекулски електростатички потенцијал (MEP), спектроскопске карактеристике, магнетни индекс (NICS) и др., добијене ab initio (MP2) и DFT приступом, корелисане су са мутагеним активностима ових изомера. Установљена је врло добра линерана корелација (Rav = 0,99) између средње поларизабилности () и експериментално одређених мутагених активности нитрофлуoрантена у различитим сојевима бактерије Salmonella typhimurium из две независне експерименталне студије (Vance and Levin, Environ. Mutagen. 6 (1984) 797 и Zielinska et al., Mutation Res. 206 (1988) 131). Веће вредности извода поларизабилности у односу на νsNO+CN вибрациону координату за 8-NF и 3-NF у поређењу са 1-NF и 7-NF и, следствено томе, веће вредности Раман активности у спектрима које су у корелацији са мутагеном активношћу, упућују на знатне молекулске интеракције дуж ове вибрационе координате. Резултати указују да је везивање изомера NF за активно место ензима главни корак у активацији мутагености код ових нитро деривата

Assessing accessibility and transport infrastructure inequities in administrative units in Serbia's Danube corridor based on multi-criteria analysis and GIS mapping tools

The Danube Regions, especially the sub-national units of governance, must be ready to play an active role in spatial development policies. A precondition for this is good accessibility and the coordinated development of all transport systems in the Danube corridor. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a multi-criteria model for potential decision making related to the evaluation of transportation accessibility in Serbia's Danube Corridor. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), based on maps, indicate the existing counties' transport infrastructures inequities (between well-connected and isolated counties in terms of accessibility to central places). Through the research, relevant indicators have been identified. This provides an outline of transportation perspectives regarding the development achieved and also fosters the increase of transportation accessibility in some peripheral Serbian Danube administrative units - counties (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics level 3 - NUTS 3)
